Parenting Plans

Comprehensive parenting plans minimize conflict and provide clarity for both parents and children.

A parenting plan is more than a custody schedule. It's a comprehensive roadmap for raising your children after separation. Good parenting plans anticipate common conflicts and provide solutions before disputes arise, creating stability for your children and reducing stress for everyone.

Frequently Asked Questions

How detailed should a parenting plan be?

More detail generally means less conflict. Good plans address regular schedules, holidays, decision-making, communication, and dispute resolution.

What if something isn't covered?

Plans should include a process for resolving issues not specifically addressed: usually discussion, then mediation, then court.

Can the plan be changed later?

Yes. As children grow and circumstances change, plans can and should be modified. Many parents return to mediation for updates.
